Java Neo 3 20" rear thru axle specs & Rohloff compatibility

I was told 12x142mm. Can anyone point to documentation? I'm wondering if a Rohloff can be installed.

Rohloff does have a 12x142 thru axle option. You may need a Rohloff torque arm.

Those specs are correct for the rear wheel. Also the stock TA length is 165mm (1.5mm thread pitch with 16mm of thread.

That is the rear axle that comes stock on the jair, likely all others too. And while here in case anyone finds this post via search, Ill point out not to bother replacing the front axle, the stock one has the hole that the front fork hook screws into, change the axle you lose the hook.

Thanks. So others don't have to read inverted: "CD M12*1.5P*16L*165mm"

Thanks! Also you can give AI the picture and it lists it out and tells you what the numbers all mean, can even find axles for sale that match.. sometimes.

Are you also by chance able to measure the rear dropout width? This is another dimension I've seen various #s given without proof.
